Bellabionda is the trademark with which Parlapiano Fruit Company trades D.O.P. Bio Ribera Orange in Italy and abroad. As it is well known, Ribera (Sicily) is the heart of the growning of blonde orange, a high-quality product with peculiar characteristics.

Bellabionda oranges are part of both Navelina and Washington Navel varie-ties; yellow and scented, they are characterized by a little protuberance which resembles a human navel. This is due to the growth of a second fruit at the apex, embedded in the main one but which protrudes slightly.
Another important characteristic of Bellabionda oranges is that they are not waxed, but just washed with drinkable water and then wiped.

It is hence possible to eat the skin and to use it in several recipes and dishes.
